Looking at the silent Yue Qianli, Jiang Ling knew that he was feeling upset.
After working diligently on the battlefield for the Xiling Kingdom, what did you get in the end?
Poisoned and disabled, suppressed and feared!
Jiang Ling, who is also a man, expressed his understanding.
However, the ancient idea of loyalty to the emperor made them feel unable to resist.
After the incident happened, if the king wanted his subject to die, the subject would have to die!
He said he did not understand and did not accept this kind of blind loyalty and filial piety.
Walked up and patted him on the shoulder.
“Don’t worry, I’m very strong, and I’ll find a way to cure your poison.
Aren’t we going to the palace to express our gratitude tomorrow?
Let's make a scene and let the Marquis leave first."
After saying that, he squatted down, put his hands on his knees, and used his wood-based ability to suppress the poison and make him feel a little more relaxed.
After hearing Jiang Ling's words, Yue Qianli had not yet reacted, but he found that his legs seemed to feel much more comfortable.
Looking at the beautiful boy in front of him in surprise.
Suddenly I realized that I didn't understand him at all, and he felt more and more mysterious.
Jiang Ling patted his knee and stood up.
"Well, I'm here!"
After hearing this, Yue Qianli suddenly thought of following his heart, since he was already like this anyway.
…………
Sure enough, when Eunuch Liu returned to the palace to report to the emperor, he described to the emperor what he had seen and heard with exaggeration.
After hearing this, the emperor became furious.
He slammed the table angrily and questioned Eunuch Liu: "Is this Jiang Jinghui's so-called 'eldest daughter'?"
Eunuch Liu lowered his head in fear and replied, "Your Majesty, that's right."
The emperor was so angry that his face turned blue, and he gnashed his teeth and said, "How dare Jiang Jinghui tease me like this!"
He recalled the time when Jiang Jinghui had taken the initiative to ask to marry his daughter to Yue Qianli, and he couldn't help but feel cheated.
I originally thought that Jiang Jinghui would honestly fulfill his promise, but unexpectedly he played the trick of replacing the prince with a cat.
How dare you marry off your illegitimate son?
This brought disgrace to his royal family and was a great insult!
Now, not only did he not get the result he wanted, he also suffered such humiliation.
The emperor decided to teach Jiang Jinghui a lesson and let him know that the dignity of the royal family cannot be violated by him.
So he immediately ordered Jiang Jinghui to be called in, ready to question him face to face why he did such a thing.
At the same time, the emperor also began to think about how to punish Jiang Jinghui in order to maintain the dignity and authority of the royal family.
………………
I originally wanted to punish Jiang Jinghui privately, but I didn't expect it to happen the next morning.
Prince Xuan Yue Qianli was pushed in by his new princess.
The ministers in the court saw King Xuan Yue Qianli, who had not appeared in public since he was poisoned and disabled half a year ago.
I found that although his body was a little thin, even though his legs were disabled, his aura was still as strong as ever.
The two men walked towards the center of the court, one in front and one behind.
At this time, the meeting was over and it was time to adjourn the court.
Jiang Ling pushed Yue Qianli but did not kneel down to the emperor. This man was not worthy of his kneeling.
He bowed slightly in greeting.
Because Prince Xuan had the privilege of not kneeling before the emperor, Princess Xuan also had the corresponding privilege.
Looking at Prince Xuan and Princess Xuan in front of them, everyone was surprised.
Isn't this a man? How did Princess Xuan become a man?
Isn’t she the legitimate daughter of Marquis Jiang’s family?
Just when everyone was expressing doubts.
Jiang Ling spoke.
"Your Majesty, I am Jiang Ling, a commoner of the Marquis Jiang's family. I was given a useless man in place of my legitimate daughter to marry the poisoned and disabled Prince Xuan."
When the ministers heard this, they all took a deep breath.
Someone heard Jiang Ling continue to speak.
"I have resisted with all my might, but I am weak and frail, with no one to help me or to rely on. I am no match for the sheer numbers and strength of the Marquis's residence.
Lord Jiang threatened the common people that even if they died, they had to be carried to Prince Xuan and die in Prince Xuan's mansion.
In the end, I had no choice but to put forward two conditions to save myself.
Since the Marquis' Mansion has abandoned me, I no longer consider myself a member of the Marquis' Mansion, so I propose to sever ties with the Marquis' Mansion of Jiang.
I also thought that since I was marrying into the Xuanwang Mansion, I should also help the Xuanwang Lord, so I asked for 100,000 taels of silver as my living expenses in the future.
After Jiang Ling finished speaking, he paused to let everyone discuss it first.
Then, he mustered up his courage and looked at the emperor.
"I have no other thoughts, I just want to tell Your Majesty the truth so that you won't be deceived.
Because I think this approach is wrong.
The royal family is sacred. How can we allow court officials to deceive at will? This is a crime of deceiving the emperor!
Moreover, Prince Xuan was only disabled due to poisoning, but he was healthy otherwise. Marquis Jiang and his men actually married a bastard's son to him. Wouldn't this mean that Prince Xuan would have no descendants?
Although Prince Xuan said that since he married me, he would take care of me, I still feel wronged for him.
After all, King Xuan has protected Xiling Kingdom for ten years. He may not be able to protect it in the future, but his contributions and hard work are still there.
How could some people not see this and have to risk the crime of deceiving the emperor to humiliate the prince?
"Wow, wow, the prince is so pitiful, Your Majesty must make the decision for the prince!"
Jiang Ling spoke at length in a chatty manner, and the court suddenly became silent.
Everyone was filled with emotion.
Yes, how could Prince Xuan be bullied like this now?
Is it that the royal family’s dignity is not enough, or that their merits and hard work are not enough?
A small marquis can be so contemptuous of the imperial power.
Jiang Ling's words made Jiang Jinghui, who was standing at the back, grit his teeth in hatred.
How dare this rebellious son do that?
At this time, Duke Zheng, the mortal enemy of the Marquisate, took a step forward and saluted the emperor on the dragon throne.
"Your Majesty, I believe that the royal dignity cannot be violated, and this act of contempt for the imperial power is truly unforgivable!
Your Majesty, please punish me severely!"
Then, Duke Zheng's faction immediately echoed.
"I request that Your Majesty punish them severely to prevent such contempt for the imperial power from happening again."
At this time, Jiang Jinghui couldn't help it and knelt on the ground with a plop.
"Your Majesty, I am wronged. I am loyal to Your Majesty. Your Majesty is wise."
Looking at Jiang Jinghui crying loudly below, the emperor was not at all soft-hearted.
It was he who took the initiative to request the emperor to grant the marriage, and he was also the one who married off. If it was just a woman, it would have been fine, but he actually wanted to make Prince Xuan childless.
Isn't this a slap in his face?
How do the people view him?
See how he humiliates his brother who has devoted ten years to the Xiling Kingdom, only to be poisoned and disabled?
Then how vicious is his image in the hearts of the people, that he can't even tolerate his brothers who have sacrificed for the Xiling Kingdom?
The more I think about it, the angrier I get. People who are more likely to cause trouble than to accomplish anything should be used as an example to scare others!
Looking at King Xuan, who was staring at him without saying a word, the emperor felt a surge of emotion in his heart. They were brothers with whom he had once drank and chatted happily.
"Alas, I have wronged you. I have a promise for you! I can fulfill it at any time!"
Yue Qianli hurriedly thanked the emperor for his grace.
The emperor looked at Jiang Ling and then at Yue Qianli.
